3/4 ton 454 4x4 burban. pull a house down with 7 passengers and get 12mpg doing it. $1000

not mine, wish it was, someone buy it before i have a moment of weakness and buy a 4th suburban.

My dad had a '95 454 3/4 ton Suburban, and he never got near 12 mpg. He did use it to tow a 11,000 lb boat, though.

wow. rule the challenge drags with this as an engine donor for an rx7 or something similar=]

When I was 8 or 9 my Grandma had a Suburban with a 454 for her daily driver. Thing sounded awesome.

I'm in love with the 454 in my dad's C30-based car hauler. It's a crew cab on a stretched frame with a dually axle and about a 24' box, and that motor doesn't even notice if the box is loaded or not. Big hill? Put the pedal to the carpet - no need to downshift, it just pours on some more steam.

And the damn thing will walk my 1500 with a 305, while getting returning about the same MPG, which is pretty depressing.

my mother in law drives a 3/4 Suburban witih the 454 as her DD. She averages 12mpg. (all by herself 90% of the time mind you.. and they don't own a trailer... )

That said, I do like being able to borrow it :)

Wow! You could get a free big block and 4L80E if your recoup skillz are good.
